Rhody Ramble Offers Busy Summer Schedule of Activities for Families

Rhody Ramble helps families connect with unique places around the state â€“ from oceanfront mansions to historic farms â€“ through a calendar of events designed for children ages 5-12.

Families looking for summer activities will find a wide variety of events at RhodyRamble.org, the online calendar for the Rhody Ramble, a family adventure around Rhode Island. The program helps families connect with unique places around the state — from oceanfront mansions to historic farms — through a calendar of events designed for children ages 5-12. A busy roster of summer events includes outdoor festivals, music concerts, hands-on activities, walking tours, and museum scavenger hunts. The program includes several free events and many admission prices are under $10, but admission varies by site. The Rhody Ramble offers events and tours at 25 member properties of the Historic Sites Coalition of Rhode Island, a group led by the statewide nonprofit Preserve Rhode Island.

The program’s mascot ‘Rhody the Rambler’ is based on the Rhode Island Red Rooster, the state’s official bird. Follow Rhody’s adventures and find event updates at Facebook.com/RhodyRamble or on Twitter. Families can sign-up at RhodyRamble.org/Register to receive monthly email updates and to be entered into summer drawings for tickets and other prizes.
